Hearing this, the one who reacted the most was Li Haitian.First he stared at Man Chen for a while, then suddenly knelt down and said, "I don't know Mount Tai, please don't blame the empress if I offend you!"

Man Chen himself didn't pay attention to Li Haitian's previous accusation. Just as he was about to say that it's okay, Kang Chenfeng said first, "Military law is ruthless. Adjutant Li's previous words and deeds are unquestionable. Go to the barracks to receive the punishment yourself!"

Since Kang Chenfeng opened his mouth, Li Haitian didn't dare to say any more, and said, "Yes, my lord!"

Kang Chenfeng walked back to the main seat, then turned around and showed his hands to Man Chen, as if he was just treating a stranger, and said coldly, "Empress, Mrs. Peng, please take a seat!"

After Man Chen and Peng Huaiyu were both seated, Kang Chenfeng said again, "Brother Huang will send your mother here this time, it's really beyond my expectation!"

Man Chen tried his best to maintain a decent smile and said, "This time, I used Fu Yan's pseudonym to go out of the palace in micro-clothes. I hope the prince will cooperate!"

Kang Chenfeng turned his eyes away from him and said, "Your Majesty always has her own reasons. Since your Majesty is here on behalf of the emperor brother, this king will cooperate with her. I just don't know how the emperor brother wants to deal with Ximu. Make it clear that this king will know how to cooperate with your empress."

As if turning a blind eye to Kang Chenfeng's intentional avoidance of Man Chen, he said slowly, "Your Majesty means to cut off Ximu's threat to our four borders at the least cost, so that the main force can be transferred to the east next time!"

It's not difficult for Kang Chenfeng to understand the meaning of Man Chen's words after thinking about it for a while. He frowned slightly and said, "Brother Huang is not such an aggressive person. Is this what you mean or Brother Huang?"

Man Chen said indifferently, "Since Your Majesty approves of my coming, that is His Majesty's will!"

Only then did Kang Chenfeng look up at him and said, "You want to use Wu Ya to control Ximu! The idea is very good, but the feasibility is too low. Although Wu Ya can be said to be extremely witty, but in terms of mind and means, he can't compare with him. The two elder brothers are still a little bit worse. Besides, King Ximu is dying now. Although Wu Ya is his most beloved son, he will not be able to maintain his current state for long. Therefore, even if we let him go back now, let alone he can Can’t ascend to the throne, it’s doubtful whether he can save his own life alone!”

Man Chen said, "As far as I know, King Ximu has three sons. Based on the prince's many years of fighting experience with them, who among these three is the most suitable to take the throne? The least impact on our well-being?"

Kang Chenfeng pondered, "The eldest prince Maya is brave and domineering on the battlefield, but he is too cruel. The second prince, Mu Ze, is cunning and suspicious, and he will take revenge for his viciousness. No matter who ascends the throne, after a short period of confusion, they will be a pair of horses again. Greedy wolf, at that time the border of Kangle will be difficult to calm down! As for the third prince Wuya, I still say the same thing, he is doomed!"

Man Chen lowered his head to think for a moment, then raised his head and said, "If King Shepherd is not dead?"

Kang Chenfeng was stunned, looked at Man Chen and said, "The prestige of King Ximu is still there after all, but this can only be a big gamble, just bet on how much chips King Ximu will leave for his choice. But, you don't We must forget that Wuya was once our captive after all, even if King Ximu liked his youngest son so much, with the pride of King Ximu and the barbarians of Ximu, it is still a big question whether he can be accepted again!"

Man Chen thought for a while and said, "Thank you for reminding me, my lord, I understand what you mean, so I will take my leave first!"

A hint of struggle flashed in Kang Chenfeng's dark eyes, but finally returned to calm.

Peng Huaiyu came out of the Military Aircraft Mansion and then said, "There is something unclear about Huaiyu. Why is the empress obsessed with Wuya? Actually, there are many ways to suppress Ximu's development!"

Man Chen casually brushed the Coiling Dragon Ring on his hand and said, "It's not that I'm obsessed, I just don't want to let go of this opportunity. Although there are many ways, it's best if you don't lose any blood. , it may not be that we will always have the upper hand!"

Peng Huaiyu was puzzled, "What does this have to do with the four conditions proposed by the empress? Huaiyu doesn't understand!"

There was a flash of light in Man Chen's eyes, he laughed at himself and shook his head and said, "I don't know how likely I am to succeed in doing this, Ximu is remote but has a vast territory, and the people are all brave and good at fighting. It is far behind us, but it can always bring us a lot of threats. The truce is the basis for stable development, and the trade between the two places means that we bring them living materials and various luxuries that they yearn for but cannot create. On the premise of having a stable life, there are still a few people who are willing to start wars again. The superior living conditions will gradually corrode their bravery, and then they will lose their greatest advantage, and they who have become accustomed to relying on the materials we give will become our vassals. And intermarriage is to open up the relationship and cultural exchanges between the two places to the maximum extent. Even if they still have a pair of blue eyes in the end, their brains are already from the Central Plains. Just ask, how could they still think of going to the Central Plains? To wage war against one's own brothers and sisters?"

Listening to Man Chen's detailed explanation, Peng Huaiyu couldn't help being taken aback again. When Man Chen put forward the four conditions before, he had thought about many practical interests, but he didn't want to think so far in Man Chen's mind.

"But if this is the case, wouldn't the treasury have to spend an extra sum of money to maintain the trade between the two places. If it happens every year, it will be a huge burden!"

Man Chen suddenly smiled, "Since it is a trade, both sides benefit from each other. We can buy their agricultural and sideline products at a low price, process them into finished products, and then resell them to them at a high price, so as to obtain the greatest benefit. Of course, the way to make money There are still many things that can be left to the merchants to think about themselves, what we want to think about now is how to help Wu Ya regain the right to inherit the throne!"

Seeing his smile, Peng Huaiyu was stunned before reacting, "Your Majesty already cares?"

Man Chen turned to face the tall city wall in the west, his eyes seemed to have seen the distant and vast grassland through the city wall.

"Huaiyu, I want to go to Ximu myself!"

Peng Huaiyu was startled, and cried out, "Your Majesty..."

Man Chen smiled sideways, "I'm just a lowly nobleman, Fu Yan, Huai Yu, would you like to go with me?"

Peng Huaiyu had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Your Majesty will not agree!"

Man Chen said indifferently, "Then don't tell him, it will take at least half a month to pass the news back to the capital from here, and even if he knows it, it will be too late!"

Peng Huaiyu only felt that his eyes were dark, "The prince will not agree!"

This time Man Chen paused for a while, just when Peng Huaiyu thought he had finally found a suitable reason, Man Chen seemed to sigh softly, "He is a minister, not a king. So, he can't stop me!"
